Carol married Fred Valentine May 6, 1955 and spent 61 years together before Fred's passing in 2016. Carol and Fred raised 3 daughters who could not have asked for a more stable, happy, loving home. Carol loved nature spending many years hiking the Squilchuck and Mission Ridge trails. But her greatest passion from an early age was reading books. Many children have been blessed to listen to her reading aloud and she could be found daily laying on the couch with her stack of books beside her, her toes wiggling against Fred. Carol and Fred were lucky enough to have travel opportunities to England, France and Spain, her happiest memory was "We will always have Paris" which is inscribed on their shared gravestone. Carol loved to tell a good story and was not above a little embellishment, she wanted the stories passed down about the "outlaw in the family", "Fred growing up in Tennessee '' and her experiences in Seattle during WW II . She was a keeper of family history and memories. Carol is survived by 3 daughters, Tammy Valentine Pitmon (Steve), Tracy Valentine (Stan), Amy Semmons (Mark).
